president obama is in many ways more aloof than that. he doesn't really like to get down to the nitty-gritty of dealing with legislators. i think those are concerns. and that may have hampered some bipartisan consensus that we're seeing -- not seeing on capitol hill. >> coming up in our next hour we're going to take a look at what the markets did do this week and what the impact is on all of our retirement. thank you, jamie, for giving us the d.c. view on all of this. good to see you, always. >>> eric? >> new reaction to the nsa surveillance scandal this morning. what senator rand paul is now saying about the latest privacy bomb shell and what senator paul says needs to be done. >>> plus, this almost came out of nowhere. london police are announcing they've received new information about the death of princess diana. is it enough, though, for them to reopen the case? details ahead.

i think that it is dangerously seductive with former officials of the obama administration. it seems so effortless but lives at risk. he's just getting involved in somalia and bases now being peppered around the middle east and in africa as well as well as the pacific rim. why are john bases being set up because they must be planned in the future as well. there is something to conserve the proliferation of jones. that is something that she has known about. >> talk a little bit about the cost. it is seen as a low cost option with significant dimensions. would you like to talk about that? >> there a lot of ways to look at this issue of cost. one is to say, all right, and f-15 cost $130 million. but a drone only costs $30 million and there are significant savings. except that i spend a lot more time in the air and the costs are somewhere between 2000 and $3500 per hour. counterintuitively because you think well, you are saving. but you actually need a lot more people to maintain the drones and it seems like they need one hour of maintenance and a lot more people seem to be doin

>> there is little the obama administration can do. i think that's what's so hard for most of us to understand. there is little we can do. we have to sit back and watch this play out. if in fact we fiddle with the military and try to take active steps to keep them from doing what they're doing, there's a no-win situation there. you lose whatever little modest leverage you have, and it won't really improve things. on the other hand, if you stay away as we are, we represent really another non-player in the world. you know, so much of this has happened because of the way the united states went into the iraq war. and you hear people say, that's an old story. well, that undermined the u.s. presence in the near east. it really made us a non-player in terms of our credibility, so we have problems here that in some ways are partially our own doing. >> we'll have to see what some of the protesters say at 2:00 as they gather in the city this afternoon. switching gears just a little bit, last muptonth, you might remember there was a california la
